I welcome all the guests. I had a list of questions, and I was struck by what Ms Locke-Reilly said before the break. I will, therefore, start with her. She recounted her own experience in Mayo regarding PDS. Her experience sounded much different from that we hear about throughout the country. In that context, and I am not too au faitwith Mayo and how it was resourced, I assume the service was adequately staffed and resourced for her to get that kind of return. I ask her to comment on this aspect. Ms McDonagh, with her background, might then be able to elaborate on it.
